Sure, he had a couple injuries stall his rise to the bigs, but he seems READY now.<br /><br />The Jays will have him for his &quot;natural&quot; prime (26-28) and hopefully more. I see him breaking out in a big way in 2010.<br /><br />Riccardi may have found another diamond in the rough, if you ask me.<br /><br />Also, don&#39;t Hassle the Hoff.andy mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-46880744004022510792009-11-20T10:11:43.473-05:002009-11-20T10:11:43.473-05:00You Herbie Hancock-blocked me!

If an Overbay trade is still in play somewhere than AA is surely a believer as well. <br /><br />Since Sir Paul no longer posts, would it be possible to request &#39;Rockit&#39; by Herbie Hancock? Yeah, it&#39;s not rock per se, but it does embrace the spirit of the genre, that is that one has &quot;to rock&quot; and &quot;it&quot;, whatever that it may be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-31176585402695437932009-11-20T08:22:42.334-05:002009-11-20T08:22:42.334-05:00Sorry for the half-link - that article is from the...Sorry for the half-link - that article is from the Business of Baseball... feature story yesterday (Thursday)REANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090485859186248405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12516131367233524382009-11-19T23:14:26.149-05:002009-11-19T23:14:26.149-05:00Reason number 101 is elected to the Topps AA all-s...Reason number 101 is elected to the Topps AA all-star team... <br /><br />http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=3756:pair-of-phillies-prospects-part-of-10-topps-double-a-all-star-team&amp;catid=19:latest-milb-news&amp;Itemid=34REANhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090485859186248405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-12454796339405242322009-11-19T11:02:10.191-05:002009-11-19T11:02:10.191-05:00I don&#39;t think I&#39;d want to be a sports writ...I don&#39;t think I&#39;d want to be a sports writer either.
